Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Byzance Gold
This 'fruitchouli' is a divisive one. Initially sharp and sometimes 'screechy', it develops into an addictive fruity rose with plenty of patchouli depth. Definitely one to try before you buy, but for some, it's a delightful journey.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Perfumista
A love-it-or-hate-it scent for the true 'perfumista', this one divides opinion with its strong personality. It's a complex, evolving chypre that's been lauded as a masterpiece by some and dismissed as 'old lady vibes' by others. Get it while it's still available.
